Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy in Pregnancy
Advancing maternal health equity by studying vaccine hesitancy in pregnancy and enhancing medical student training in vaccine counseling and support.
This project pilots a model to improve medical student education around vaccine and medication hesitancy, focusing on the unique concerns of pregnant patients in today’s political climate. By integrating patient perspectives with student training, it aims to train future physicians to serve as trusted counselors. We aim to measurably improve pregnant patients’ confidence and perceptions around vaccination.
Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
